Klain, who served as a top adviser to Biden during the 2020 campaign, criticized Trump several times in 2020 over the shortage of tests, even going as far as condemning the former commander-in-chief for not using his presidential power to demand the U.S. economy make more tests.
"Again President Trump talks a good game about his absolute power, but the power he really has—the power to take control of the supply chain, to demand that more tests be made, to demand that more gear be made, to get that gear out," Klain said in a 2020 ABC interview. "That’s the power President Trump’s refused to use."

"That’s a power Joe Biden would use as President if this is still going on when he becomes president to make sure that we are testing the American people — we are making our healthcare workers safe when they treat us," he added.
Klain also aimed at Trump in a 2020 campaign video, saying, "The Biden plan starts with fixing Trump’s testing fiasco. He’d make sure that all Americans have access to regular, reliable, and free testing." During the campaign, he posted several times on his Twitter account about the COVID-19 test shortage.

"Testing still isn't fixed. Testing still isn't fixed. Testing still isn't fixed. We are the richest country on Earth, and we don't have enough SWABS," Klain dramatically tweeted in June 2020. "Testing still isn't fixed. Testing still isn't fixed."

The Biden Administration faces increasing pressure over the testing shortage, with Brown University School of Public Health Dean Dr. Ashish K. Jha telling CNN last week that the Administration "dropped the ball" on the testing shortage.
Biden’s own rebuke of Trump during the testing shortage in 2020 came under scrutiny earlier this week, such as when the president called it a "travesty" that there was still a lack of testing.

The President also told governors that the COVID-19 pandemic has "no federal solution" and that it gets solved at the state level.
The Biden Administration announced a plan to acquire 500 million at-home rapid tests for COVID-19 and distribute them for free, but health experts said the number is far below what is needed to address the Omicron surge.
